Anand Agricultural University, Anand

Anand Agricultural University (AAU) was established in 2004 at Anand with the support of the Government of Gujarat, Act No.(Guj 5 of 2004) dated April 29, 2004. Caved out of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), the dream institution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. K. M. Munshi, the AAU was set up to provide support to the farming community in three facets namely education, research and extension activities in Agriculture, Horticulture Engineering, product Processing and Home Science. At present there seven Colleges, seventeen Research Centers and six Extension Education Institute working in nine districts of Gujarat namely Ahmedabad, Anand, Dahod, Kheda, Panchmahal, Vadodara, Mahisagar, Botad and Chhotaudepur AAU's activities have expanded to span newer commodity sectors such as soil health card, bio-diesel, medicinal plants apart from the mandatory ones like rice, maize, tobacco, vegetable crops, fruit crops, forage crops, animal breeding, nutrition and dairy products etc. the core of AAU's operating philosophy however, continues to create the partnership between the rural people and committed academic as the basic for sustainable rural development. In pursuing its various programmes AAU's overall mission is to promote sustainable growth and economic independence in rural society. AAU aims to do this through education, research and extension education. Thus, AAU works towards the empowerment of the farmers.

    INFLUENCE OF NITROGEN-PHOSPHORUS WITH IRON SOURCES AND LEVELS ON YIELD, CONTENT AND UPTAKE OF NUTRIENTS BY WHEAT (SONALIKA)
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) PAVAYA, R. P.; Patel, N. A.
    A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of NP (120 kg N + 60 kg P2O5/ha and 150 kg N + 75 kg P2O5/ha) and iron sources FeSO4 and FeCl3 at 0, 10 and 20 ppm levels on the yield, content and uptake of nutrients by wheat (Sonalika) grown on loamy sand containing marginal quantity of available Fe. A Randomized Block Design with four replications was followed. Plant components viz., grain and straw were chemically analysed and uptakes were calculated. Application of 150 kg N + 75 kg P2O5/ha increased the yields of grain and straw by 5.17 per cent (4449 to 4678 kg/ha) and 5.78 per cent (6124 to 6488 kg/ha) over 120 kg N + 60 kg P2O5/ha respectively. Application of FeSO4 significantly increased the yields of grain and straw by 10.21 and 8.44 per cent, respectively over control. Source FeCl3 also increased the grain and straw yields by 6.64- and 5.59 per cent, respectively over control but It was at par with FeSO4 control.

    YIELD, CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS AND SMOKE CHARACTERISTICS OF BIDI TOBACCO CULTIVARS AS INFLUENCED BY DATES OF PLANTING AND NITROGEN LEVELS
    (AAU, Anand, 1987) PATEL, J. A.; Patel, G. R.
    With a view to finding out the influence of different dates of planting and nitrogen levels on the yield, quality, chemical constituents and smoke characteristics of most popular (Anand 119) and recently released (Gujarat Tobacco 5) bidi tobacco cultivars an experiment was conducted during 1983-84 and 1984-85 at Bidi Tobacco Research Station, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand.

    INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT ZINC CARRIERS ON Zn AVAILABILITY, DRY MATTER YIELD AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF FORAGE MAIZE
    (AAU, Anand, 1984) PATEL, SURESHCHANDRA B.; Dangarwala, R. T.
    With a view to judging the efficacy of different Zn carriers incubation as well as field experiments were taken up. An incubation study was carried out to determine the influence of 5 ppm Zn applied through different carriers on available Zn content of loamy sand of Anand popularly known as goradu soil. One kg soil was incubated at room temperature and moisture level was maintained at 50 per cent of its water holding capacity throughout the incubation period of 60 days. Zinc availability was measured periodically i.e.. on 3, 15, 30, 45 and 60 days after incubation.

    INFLUENCE OF PHOSPHORUS AND SULPHUR APPLICATION ON YIELD, CONTENT AND UPTAKE OF NUTRIENTS BY WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L. Cv. Sonalika) GROWN IN GORADU SOIL
    (AAU, Anand, 1984) PATEL, RAMESH M.; Patel, N. A.
    A field experiment in randomized block design was conducted with a view to knowing the response of wheat interms of grain and straw production and utilization of nutrients towards application of different levels of phosphorus (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5/ha) and sulphur (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg S/ha). The crop was raised on a loamy sand of Anand containing moderate amount of available phosphorus and sulphur. Yields of grain and straw of wheat were found statistically significant. Differences in grain yields due to P40 and P60 levels were found statistically significant over control. Effects of both the treatments P40 and P60 were at par. The highest grain yield (4467 kg/ha) produced under 60 kg P2O5/ha. Similarly straw yield obtained was the highest under higher level of phosphorus (60 kg P2O5/ha).The application of 60 kg P2O5/ha resulted in increase of grain yield by 13.84 per cent and in straw by 12.47 per cent over control.

    EFFECT OF SOURCES AND LEVELS OF SULPHUR ON YIELD AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF DIFFERENT MUSTARD VARIETIES (BRASSICA JUNCEA (L.) CZERN AND COSS).
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) PATEL, RAJENDRAKUMAR GORDHANBHAI; Patel, K. A.
    A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of sulphur by its different sources viz. Potassium sulphate (S1) and ammonium sulphate (S2) and levels of 12 (L1), 24 (L2) and 36 (L3) kg S/ha on yield, content and yield of oil and nutrients content and uptake by different mustard varieties viz., Patan mustard-67 (V1) and Varuna (V2) grown on sulphur deficient loamy sand soil of Anand. The grain, straw, husk and oil yields and oil content were significantly affected by varieties. The variety varuna, source ammonium sulphate and level of 36 kg S/ha were superior for increasing yields of mustard, similarly the nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur content and uptake were also significantly affected by these factors except phosphorus content and uptake of husk by varieties.

    CHEMICAL INVESTIGATIONS INTO TOBACCO VARIETIES DIFFERING IN SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INSECT ATTACK
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) SHAH, PARESH G.; CHAKRABORTY, M. K.
    Seedlings of two tobacco types, DR-1 and GT-4 were grown at the field of Bidi Tobacco Research Station, Anand Campus, Anand. Samples were drawn at two growth stages for analysis. At the first growth stage (30 days after sowing) insect attack was negligible whereas at second stage (60 days after sowing) insect attack was considerable. DR-1 was highly susceptible to the leaf eating caterpillar Spodoptera litura (F.).
